My next bow will have a Cocobolo riser, it is still a few months out. I am thinking of a combination of Cocobolo and something dark, but not sure what. Looking for ideas, and pics if you have them!
Thanks,
David
Ziricote!
Here's my latest love affair, my Whippenstick Phoenix. Man what a bow.
Ziricote with coco' flare. You could just reverse them.

Cocobolo can be a very dark wood...this is Cocobolo with a padauk stripe...the bow was sold to me as Macassar Ebony and I had no reason to doubt that until the original owner contacted me and corrected the misunderstanding

Cocobolo and Wendge is what I'm going to do on my next bow. Wendge will be almost black.
Cocobolo and really good juniper is a nice combo.
I think cocobolo looks great with myrtle. Myrtle burl looks extra special...
Hey David, I'm going to text you a picture of my Tall Tines riser with Cocobolo wenge and bacote
Looking forward to it Sean!
osage would look good if want a contrast
I love that cocobolo and ziricote!
Black on black!! All Cocobolo! That's what my next bow is gonna be.
I like Coco and Osage, it will darken with time.
Coco and yew
I,'ve got one in progress, cocobolo riser, maccassar ebony accent stripe, yew limbs.. Antler overlay and tips.
Cocobolo and Bocote make a nice riser. I'm partial to Yew or light maple accents in my Cocobolo risers.
Cocobola & Bocote
If your Cocobolo isn't too dark Gabon Ebony will make a stunning match.
How'bout some more pics?? Im having difficulty downloading mine. Lets see some more combos!
...Phenolic

My new timberghost will be coco and phenolic.

My two favorite combos are coco and claro walnut, and coco and phenolic. Both accent each other wonderfully.
Then again, I have one bow with a highly figured all coco riser and she's a thing of beauty - it works just great on it's own.
I've always liked Cocobolo and Bocote but over time they change and wind up being very close in contrast. Bill
Ziricote
I like Cocobolo and Bocote as well.

I have to second the Coco and Myrtle. Especially if the Cocobolo is dark.
Thabnks Charlie, that riser is Cocobola, Bocote and Wenge. The pics don't do it justice!!
Co-Co and curly Maple.
Cocobolo and zebrawood look great together I think. Another bow I shouldn't have sold lol! My old Timberhawk Talon. Man I've got a problem LOL

Cocobolo and zebra wood.
I like Cocobolo and Myrtle limbs myself (ebony flare):

Cocobolo & curly maple/tiger maple looks great.

Mine is coco with zebra accent stripe. Also looks sharp - but I'm only a fan of the zebra wood in small quantities.
Like a previous bow I had-cocobolo and bloodwood
Cocobolo and curly maple

I did b/w ebony on my last bow.
A knock out!
Go to this page: http://timberhawkbows.com/StrikeXTS.html Scroll down until you see the Wenge/Cocobola bow. I think it looks amazing and that is what my next bow will be.
